A velvety, savory potato soup enhanced with aromatic vegetables, rich cream, and melty cheese for ultimate coziness.
Peel and dice the potatoes, chop the onion and celery, and set aside.
in a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the diced potatoes and broth to the pot. Stir well, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only part of the soup and leave some potato pieces intact.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to warm through.
Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with shredded cheese, parsley, or crispy bacon if desired. Serve hot with bread or crackers.
